Preview of Spectacular Documentary on the Church...

Several times, I have mentioned an upcoming 10-part documentary on Catholicism, expected to be released in September. This is not your garden variety documentary. It is a major and visually spectacular undertaking by Chicago Archdiocese priest, blogger and You Tube evangelist, Fr. Robert Barron and his Word On Fire staff.

Archbishop Fulton Sheen once said, “There are not over a hundred people in the United States who hate the Catholic Church. There are millions, however, who hate what they wrongly believe to be the Catholic Church.” That is one of the reasons behind the project; to set out to tell the Catholic story from those who are living, breathing and practicing the faith.

Fr. Barron and his crew traveled throughout the world, from Italy, France, Ireland and Spain to Israel, India, Uganda and Mexico, to capture the essence, glory, history and beauty of Catholicism.

I have seen several previews but this one, captures the fullness and magnificence of the project:

Welcome to Living the Faith on a High Wire...

This blog is basically what the title suggests, my attempts at living the Catholic faith to the best of my abilities.

I write about my struggles as a husband, father, son, brother and Christian man.

From a faith standpoint, I also write about my observations, interests, videos, and things that catch my attention, as well as, celebrities that are trying to live their religious beliefs in the public eye.

I refer to it as life on a high wire because those of us who are trying to live our faith in today's culture are are walking a fine line over a precipice between two worlds; what our faith teaches and we know in our hearts and what the society accepts and expects us to accept.

God, religion and Christianity, especially Catholicism, have been under constant attack and this is my small way of fighting back.

I often use humor and poke fun at myself but am also serious when I have to be.

I'm not an expert or pretend to be. I'm just a lay Catholic who is living and learning, as I go, like many others.

So, feel free to browse, get to know me better and, if you feel compelled, leave a comment...
